MenuTo answer your first question: Yes but it doesn't matter. You did say that if he followed this route, you'd look at exiting. Presumably, he's following this route, so presumably, you're looking at exiting. But that doesn't matter. Looking at exiting isn't the same as exiting. He is not entitled to say that you have exited until you exit.
Next, you mention you signed an IP agreement, so you do not own the IP. This is normal. But what did you get in return? You should talk to your lawyer about the validity of your IP agreement if you got nothing in return.
Bottom line is that this is an area for a lawyer. If your interest in the company is not worth a $1000 expense talking to (and having a couple letters to the company written by) your lawyer, then it's time to move on. But if it is important enough, the lawyer should be your next "tool" to use.
Before using that tool, you may want to make it known to the other guy that you have "made an appointment my your lawyer next Tuesday, but would like a chance to meet and settle the matter person to person before that time." Sometimes, just the knowledge that lawyers are getting involved is enough to bring people to the table. Sometimes not.
